Sphalerite, Quartz v. Amethyst

A great sphalerite specimen for the Commodore Mine, featuring large, lustrous honey-brown Sphalerite crystals to 2 cm covered in a "blanket" of aesthetic small purple amethyst crystals. A very interesting specimen and quite aesthetically-pleasing in my mind. This style of Commodore mine sphalerite/amethyst specimens are among my favorite. A Colorado Classic!
